WOW look at me, I'm blogging!! My name is Tracy Bartlett. I am a stay at home mom to 2 wonderful little girls, 5 and 4 yrs old. I taught elementary education for about 10 yrs before staying home with them. We live in Colorado and love it. We also have an English Bulldog who is snoring so loudly right now I can hear him across the house! I'm back to school myself now, hoping to train teachers one day. This is my 2nd semester at UCM. I've really enjoyed the 2 other online classes I've taken and really look forward to learning a lot of the tools I've been missing out on since playing peek a boo for the last few years.
The book I'm reading right now is "The Other Boleyn Girl" by Philippe Gregory
I love history and all her books are from the woman's point of view, which I love. I've read 4 or 5 of her books in the last 6 months or so. I tend to find an author I like and read everything they wrote. I don't think I agree with Jobs, that people don't read anymore. They might not read as many books/novels but all this blogging going on, someone must be reading it. I think people's attention span is getting shorter and shorter and they want things short and sweet.
I also love history and historical fiction.
ReplyDeleteHad a good chuckle reading your first sentence :) Whoohoo, Tracy, you're bloggin!! :)
ReplyDeleteAs a now stay-at-home-mom it is really nice to be able to do something for me here and there. It's great that I can still teach a couple classes here and there but I have been missing the social interaction of actually going to work!
I have the Other Boleyn Girl in my to read wish list. I just finished Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. Based in the early 1800s China. Women's point of few, very historical and informative, e.g. footbinding, weddings. Great book overall!
It is good to be in a class with you. I agree it is very exciting to try all these new tools. It is almost overwhelming how many cool technologies that there are!
ReplyDeleteI saw the movie of that book, but haven't read the book. Honestly, I didn't know there was a book! I'll have to check that out. I like books with strong female roles and that one's based in one of my favorite times in history which would make it more fascinating to me!
